Zeremaia 14

1 Hagi Juda mopafima ko'ma origeno maka zamo'ma hagege hianknafina Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno anazankura Jeremaia'na nasami'ne.

Leli yilizwi likaThixo elafika kuJeremiya mayelana lokoma elizweni lisithi:

2 Juda vahe'mo'za tusi zavi krafa nehazage'za, ranra kumapima kuma kafama erigi'zama mani'naza vahera zaferina zamia omane amane nehie. Maka vahe'mo'za mopafi masene'za zavira nete'za zamasunkura nehaze. Ana nehazageno Jerusalemi kumapinti'ma tusi zavi krafama nehaza zamofo agasasamo'a amenagame mareri'ne.

“UJuda uyalila, amadolobho akhe ayahlupheka; alilela ilizwe, njalo isililo siyaqonga sivela eJerusalema.

3 Hagi ugota kva vahe'mo'za, ti ome afiho hu'za eri'za vahe zamia huzamantage'za vu'naze. Hianagi maka tinkerimo'a hagege hu'nege'za ana eri'za vahe'mo'za na'a hugahune hu'za antahintahi hakare nehu'za, tintaferamina amne eri'za e'naze. Ana hute'za zamagazegu nehu'za zamazana zamasenire ante'za rufite'naze.

Izikhulu zithuma izinceku zazo ukuyafuna amanzi; ziya emithonjeni kodwa zifice amanzi engekho. Ziyabuyela lemigqomo yazo ingelalutho; zithithibele njalo zidanile, zemboze amakhanda azo.

4 Hagi mopamo'a hagege huno kekokako hu'ne. Na'ankure ana mopafina kora ruonte'ne. Ana hige'za hozama nentaza vahe'mo'za zamagranena zamazana zamasenire rufite'za zamasunku hu'naze.

Umhlabathi uqhekezekile ngoba akulazulu elizweni; abalimi bathithibele njalo bemboze amakhanda abo.

5 Hagi afi a' dia afu'mo'za zamagranena anentazamia zamatre'za fre'naze. Na'ankure trazama nesaza zana omanege'za anara hu'naze.

Lenyamazana ensikazi egangeni iyabalekela inkonyane layo elizelweyo ngoba akulatshani.

6 Hagi afi donki afumo'za hagege agonaramimpi oti'za, afi kramo'ma hiaza hu'za zamasafeku nehu'za, zamaganefuna hagana hagana hu'naze. Trazama nesaza zanena omanegeno zamavumo'a kagikagi hu'ne.

Obabhemi beganga bema emiqolweni elugwadule bakhefuzele njengamakhanka; amehlo abo asefiphele ngenxa yokuswela amadlelo.”

7 Hagi zamagra hu'za, Ra Anumzamoka tagrama hu'nona havi avu'ava zamo ama hazenkea avreno eme neramie. Hianagi kagrika'a kagi'mofo knare zanku nentahinka tazahuo. Na'ankure tagra rama'a zupa tamefira hunegamita, Kagri kavufina kumira huvava huta e'none.

Lanxa izono zethu zifakaza kubi ngathi, Oh Thixo, ake wenze okunye ngenxa yebizo lakho. Ngoba ukuhlehlela kwethu emuva kunengi; sonile kuwe.

8 Hagi tagra Israeli vahe'mota Kagrite amuhara nehuta kavega ante'nonkenka, knazamo'ma tagrite'ma ne-egenka, kagra tagu'nevazine. Hanki kagra nahigenka, ru moparegati amane kanteno ea vahemo magoke kenage tagrane emaseteno viazana nehane?

Oh Themba lika-Israyeli, uMhlengi wakhe ezikhathini zokuhlupheka, kungani usiba njengowezizweni elizweni, njengesihambi esihlala ubusuku obubodwa kuphela?

9 Hagi nahigenka antahintahi hakarema nehia vaheknara nehunka, harafa ne' mani'noanagi vahe'ma azama osianknara nehane? Hianagi Ra Anumzamoka tagrane magoka mani'nane. Ana nehunka Nagri vahe mani'naze hunka tagrira huhampari rante'nananki, Kagra orataro.

Kungani usiba njengomuntu ojunyiweyo, lanjengebutho elingelamandla okusiza na? Ukhona phakathi kwethu, wena Thixo, njalo sibizwa ngebizo lakho; ungasilahli!

10 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a ana vahekura amanage hu'ne. Tamagra Nagri'ma natreta afete'ma mani'zankuke tamavenesigeta, akoheta mani so'ea nosaze. E'ina hu'negu Nagri vahe mani'naze hu'na antahi noramue. Nagra menina havi avu'ava zama hu'naza zanku nagesa nentahi'na, knazana tami'na tamazeri havizana hugahue.

Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo ngalababantu: “Bayakuthanda kakhulu ukuntula; kabazibambi inyawo zabo. Ngakho uThixo kayikubamukela; khathesi uzakhumbula ububi babo abajezisele izono zabo.”

11 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne, Jeremaiaga ama vahe'ma knare hu'za manisazegura Nagritega nunamuna osuo.

UThixo wasesithi kimi, “Ungakhulekeli inhlalakahle yabantu laba.

12 Hagi ne'zama atre'za nunamuma hana zana Nagra antahi nozami'na, tevefi kre fanane hu ofane, witi ofanema hanaza zankura Nagra musena osugahue. Hianagi Nagra ha' vahe huzmanta'nena eme zamahe nefrisage'na, zamagatonto zanteti'ene' ruzahu ruzahu krireti zamahe frigahue.

Lanxa bezila ukudla, ukukhala kwabo angiyikukulalela; loba benikela iminikelo yokutshiswa kanye leminikelo yamabele, angiyikuyamukela. Esikhundleni salokho, ngizabaqeda du ngenkemba, ngendlala langezifo.”

13 Hianagi nagra amanage hu'na hu'noe. Ra Anumzamoka ama ana vahe'mokizmi kasnampa vahe'mo'za ko zamasami'za, ha'ma hu'zane zamagatonto hu knamo'a omesanigeta knare huta manigahaze hu'za nezamasami'za, Ra Anumzamo tamarimpa frua tamisnigeta ama mopafina manigahaze hu'za nehaze.

Kodwa mina ngathi, “Awu Thixo Wobukhosi, abaphrofethi bahlezi bebatshela besithi, ‘Kaliyikubona inkemba loba libulawe yindlala. Impela, ngizalipha ukuthula okungapheliyo kule indawo.’”

14 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a huno, e'i ana kasnampa vahe'mo'za Nagri nagifi havi kasnampa naneke nehaze. Nagra mago vahera huntege, nanekea asamigera osu'noe. Zamagra havige hu'za ava'nagna zana ke'none nehu'za, fri vahe hankro'ene nanekea nehu'za, zamagra'a antahintahifinti agafa'a omne nanekea nehaze.

UThixo wasesithi kimi, “Abaphrofethi baphrofetha amanga ngebizo lami. Angibathumanga njalo angibakhethanga kumbe ngikhulume labo. Baphrofetha imibono yamanga kini, ukuhlahlula, ukukhonza izithombe lenkohliso yezingqondo zabo.

15 E'ina hu'negu Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne. Nagra huozamante noanagi Nagri nagifima havi kasnampa kema hu'za, ha'ma hu' zane zamagatonto zanena ama mopafina omegahie hu'za hu'naze. Hianagi ana kasnampa kema hu'naza vahera hapinti'ene zamagatonto zamo'ene zamahe frigahie.

Ngakho-ke, nanku okutshiwo nguThixo ngabaphrofethi abaphrofetha ngebizo lami ukuthi: Kangizange ngibathume, kodwa bona bathi, ‘Akulankemba kumbe indlala ezathinta ilizwe leli.’ Bona labo abaphrofethi bazabhujiswa ngenkemba langendlala.

16 Hagi ana kasnampa kema nehazage'zama antahi'naza vahe'enena hapinti'ene zamagatonto zamo'ene zamahe frigahie. Ana hanage'za ha' vahe'mo'za veneneramine, a'ne zamine ne'mofavre naga'zmimokizmi fri'naza zamavufaga eri atresageno Jerusalemi kumamofo ne'onse kantamimpi megahie. Ana hu'za maka fri vagaresageno mago vahe'mo'a kasefara huno mani'neno aseozamantegahie. Na'ankure zamagrama hu'naza kumi'mofo nona'a knazana zamagri agofetura antegahue.

Abantu abaphrofetha kubo bazaphoselwa phandle emigwaqweni yaseJerusalema ngenxa yendlala lenkemba. Akulamuntu ozabangcwaba kumbe omkabo, amadodana abo loba amadodakazi abo. Ngizabehlisela ingozi ebafaneleyo.

17 Hagi Jeremaiaga ama ana vahera menina amanage hunka zamasamio. Hanine zagenena zavira tevava nehugeno navunumo'a tinkna huno fragu vazineramie. Na'ankure mofa'nane gna'ma hu'nage'na, nagrama navesima nezamantoa vaheni'a ha' vahe'mo'za zamahe'za rehapatizage'za zamatagu hu'naze.

Khuluma ilizwi leli kubo uthi: ‘Amehlo ami kawehlise inyembezi ebusuku lemini zingomi; ngoba indodakazi yami egcweleyo, labantu bami balimele kakhulu, balinyazwe yikutshaywa okwesabekayo.

18 Hagi nagrama vu'na kuma'mofo fegi'ama ome kesuana, hapinti'ma zamahe fri'nesaza vahe zamavufaga ome kegahue. Hagi rankumamofo agu'afima ufresuana ne'zanku hu'za fri'nesaza vahe zamavufaga ome kegahue. Hagi pristi vahe'ene kasnampa vahe'mo'zanena ke'za antahiza osu'naza moparega vu'naze.

Nxa ngingena elizweni, ngibona labo ababulawa ngenkemba; nxa ngingena edolobheni ngibona umonakalo owenziwa yindlala. Bobabili umphrofethi lomphristi sebeye elizweni abangalaziyo.’”

19 Ra Anumzamoka tamagerafa hunka Juda vahera hago kamagena huzami'nampi? Hagi Saioni kumara hago kavesra huntenka kagote'nentampi? Kagra nahigenka tazeri haviza hutenka zazatera tatranketa tatafina mani'nonkeno anazamo'a amera huno vagarenorante? Tagra tarimpa frune manisanumpi huta muhara hunanagi, mago knare'zana ome'ne. Tagrama kanamaresuna knagu muhara huta avega antonanagi, tusi koro zampinke mani'none.

UJuda usumlahle kokuphela na? IZiyoni uyaleyisa na? Usitshayeleni kangaka size singelapheki na? Sasilindele ukuthula kodwa akulabuhle obaba khona, isikhathi sokwelatshwa kodwa kulokwesaba kuphela.

20 Hagi Ra Anumzamoka tagehe'zama hu'naza kumiku'ene tagrama hu'nona kumikura hago kagri kavufi kumi hu'none huta huama hune.

Awu Thixo, siyakuvuma ukona kwethu kanye lokona kwabokhokho bethu; impela sonile kuwe.

21 Hagi Ra Anumzamoka Kagraka'a rankagimofo knare zanku kagesa nentahinka, kamefira huoramio. Ana nehunka masanentake kini traka'a eri ante fenkamia otro. Tagranema huhagerafi huvempa kema hu'nana kegura kagesa nentahinka ruha'ontagio.

Ngenxa yebizo lakho ungasenyanyi; ungasigconi isihlalo sakho sobukhosi esihle kakhulu. Khumbula isivumelwano sakho lathi ungasephuli.

22 Hagi ru vahe'mokizmia kaza osu havi anumzaramimo'za kokura hanageno kora rugahifi? Monafintira agra'a avesitera kora rugahifi? I'o, Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamoka Kagrake'za nehankeno kora nerie. E'ina hu'negeta kagrama taza hananku muhara nehuta kavega nentone. Na'ankure ama ana maka zana kagrake hankeno fore nehie.

Zikhona yini izithombe eziyize zezizwe ezinganisa izulu na? Imikhathi yona ngokwayo iyalinisa izulu na? Hatshi, nguwe, Thixo Nkulunkulu wethu. Ngakho ithemba lethu likuwe, ngoba nguwe owenza konke lokhu.
